Los Angeles baseball cap

This Battle of Los Angeles 1942 cap is inspired by that dramatic night. The embroidered patch captures searchlights piercing the sky as a mysterious object hangs above the city — a moment where war, fear, and mystery briefly collided.

Bold, cinematic, and atmospheric, it’s designed for those who know that history sometimes hides its strangest chapters in plain sight.

Every piece from Close Encounters Co. is part of a larger project: remembering the events that were never fully explained and keeping the conversation alive through design.
